A St. Louis couple and a Ballwin man have claimed their Lotto prizes worth millions. The St. Louis couple purchased their $2.7 million winning ticket at Schnucks Market, 1310 Big Bend in Ballwin. Their Quick Pick ticket matched all six numbers ? 20, 25, 27, 31, 39 and 41 ? for the Dec. 11, 2004, Missouri Lotto drawing.
In addition to their win, Schnucks Market will receive a check for $27,000 for selling the winning ticket.

7-Eleven will receive a check for $13,000 for selling the winning ticket.
